Stochastic Probability
Theory - Pregnant Deer
Scenario

Consider this scenario: In a remote forest, a
pregnant deer is about to give birth to a baby. It finds a remote grass field
near by a river and slowly goes there thinking it would be safe. As she moves
slowly, she gets labor pain…. at that same moment, dark clouds gather around
that area and a bolt of lightningng starts
a forest fire. Turning left she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow at her from
a distance. As she tries to move towards the right, she spots a hungry lion
approaching towards her.

What can
the pregnant deer do …as she is already under labor pain?What do you think will happen? Will the deer survive? Will it give birth to a fawn? Will the fawn survive?

The sequence of events that
happens at that fraction of a second (moment) is as
follows;

In a spur of the MOMENT …a
lightning bolt strikes (it is already cloudy) and blinds the eyes of the Hunter.
At that MOMENT, he releases the arrow missing and zipping past the deer. At that
MOMENT, the arrow hits and injures the lion badly. At that MOMENT, it starts to
rain heavily and puts out the forest fire. At that next MOMENT, the deer gives
birth to a healthy fawn.

In our life, it’s our
MOMENT of CHOICE and we all have to deal with such negative thoughts from all
sides, always. Some thoughts are so powerful they overpower us and make us
clueless. Let us not decide anything in a hurry. Let’s think of ourselves as the
pregnant deer with the ultimate happy ending (a successful birthing). Anything
can happen in a MOMENT in this life.

If you are religious,
superstitious, atheist, agnostic… or whatever… you can attribute this MOMENT as
divine intervention, faith, sudden luck, chance (serendipity), coincidence… or a
simple ‘don’t know’. We all feel the same. But, whatever one may call it, I
would see the priority of the deer in that given moment was to giving birth to a
baby…. because LIFE IS PRECIOUS.Hence,
whether you are deer or a human, keep that faith and hope within you
always.

of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence”.- Stephen
